Biden Lampoons Obama At Gridiron Dinner: 'He Thinks Easter Is About Him'

AP/Politico | March 22, 2009 12:14 PM


WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama didn't have time to join a roast of prominent officials by the journalists who cover them, cracks Vice President Joe Biden, because Obama is getting ready for Easter.

"Axelrod really wanted me to do this on teleprompter -- but I told him I'm much better when I wing it," Biden said. "I know these evenings run long, so I'm going to be brief. Talk about the audacity of hope. President Obama does send his greetings, though. He can't be here tonight -- because he's busy getting ready for Easter. He thinks it's about him."

No, that's not the reason, counters California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. "He's just not that into you."

"Here you were expecting 'Yes we can,'" Schwarzenegger, a Republican, said during the festivities at a downtown hotel ballroom. "And instead what did you get? 'Hasta la vista, baby.'"

"Now let's see: we have a Republican speaker who was born in Austria, and tonight's Democratic speaker was born in Canada," Biden observed. "Folks, this is Lou Dobbs' worst nightmare."

7. From the article...

The Democrat also took a shot at Schwarzenegger, asking which of his movies best prepared him to deal with the GOP: "True Lies" or "Kindergarten Cop"?

That is pretty funny.

8. You Go Joe!

"I know that no president has missed his first Gridiron since Grover Cleveland," Biden added. "Of course, President Cleveland really did have better things to do on a Saturday night. When he was in the White House, he was married to a 21 year old woman."
